#930: Kevin McCullough

Kevin McCullough is a … madman. He is also a talkshow host
and occasional writer for WND,
where he voices the opinions you usually expect from madmen who occasionally
voice their opinions (mostly blatant lies)
in the WND (this one is perhaps particularly tasteless). Among McCullough’s greatest hits is his
column “Why liberals channel Lucifer”,
which doesn’t really tell us why they channel Lucifer or provide any clear
reason to think they do apart from voices (“God!) that McCullough hears in his
head. Then there is the ACLU’s War on Christmas.
You might not have noticed that one, but McCullough has, because McCullough has
a different way of knowing that is independent of facts, evidence, truth or how to properly interpret a situation.

So let’s just move straight to his views on LGTB rights.
McCullough was a persistent (rabid) critic of WalMart’s decision to extend
pension and healthcare benefits to gay employees,
arguing that WalMart is no longer “family friendly” because they sell dish detergent to non-wingnuts (or something). The point is apparently that “radical homosexual activists hate marriage because fundamentally they hate
God, and the guilt of both drives them to extremes,” which is how logical connections
are made in McCullough’s head. He also thinks their campaigns for marriage
equality are crazy: “[I]n the minds of radical activists, getting the label and
a piece of paper saying so will be close enough.” Right. The formal designation
“marriage” is not what matters here. So, McCullough doesn’t care that much
about that designation, then? You betcha.
